Default Advice: Wiring JDM 1-piece headlights

I've got a '90 Integra (DA?) RS 4-door. I got some genuine JDM 1-piece headlights that I would like to replace my current 3-piece ones with. Questions: 1) What kind of bulbs do these headlights use, and 2) What are some ways I can go about rewiring the JDM headlights to work with the existing wiring? I am not afraid to solder or anything, but if I could do something non-invasive, that would be great. Thanks for all the help!

The JDM DA headlights use H4H headlight bulbs, the fogs and corner are the same, H3 and 194.

I think the only thing you'll need to alter is the headlight bulb harness, you'll just cut the original USDM headlight bulb harness and wire in the JDM harness. For the corner, you'll only use one harness instead of the two like the USDM corners. You'll probably want to use the harness that blinks and then tuck the other one away or use it for the JDM sidemarkers.

I'm pretty sure that's the way to go, anyone correct me if I'm wrong. The only reason I'm not certain is because I didn't get a chance to put my one piece headlights on my DA before the motor blew

Great. Thanks bro. I was initially going to do an HID retrofit but money wore thin and I am just going to but these headlights in for the time being.

i might do that just to see if everything works but my buddy has connectors and plug adapters and i would feel more comfortable doing it that way than just splicing and taping it. it all worked fine for him in his 91 DA. plus i have a bad tendency to run into bad luck so i want to use the most fool proof method
